Recipe Preparation
Crostini
- Heat broiler in oven.
- Cut baguette into 1/2-inch (2 cm) thick slices.
- Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil and place on baking sheet.
- Place under broiler, about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven; set aside.
- Combine goat cheese with herbs in a medium bowl.
- Spread 1 tbsp (15 mL) cheese mixture onto each baguette slice.
- Top with 1 tsp (5 mL) roasted red pepper. If desired, drizzle with additional olive oil.
- Finish with freshly ground Windsor® Black Peppercorns, to taste.
Tip: To make ahead, prepare baguette slices and store in air-tight container. Prepare goat cheese mixture and keep in refrigerator. Just before serving, assemble crostinis and arrange on a platter or tray.
